The Woebegones

Wake your senses, ease your spirit and forget your troubles with The Woebegones.

A charismatic Guelph-based duo featuring Jen Rafter on vocals and Aaron Way on guitar. 

Delivering soul stirring sets, shared with an authenticity and vulnerability that soothes and inspires.

Rafter's powerful voice rings deep, channeling influences of soul, blues, folk and country while Way's affinity for the guitar follows in a fashion all his own. 

You may have heard The Woebegones around town at The Wooly Pub, The Cornerstone, La Poche, or as part of Hillside Inside’s Eramosa Sessions in 2026. Rafter is also a member of Greg Denton’s Probable Cause and is a frequent featured special guest with The Flying Pants, Kent MacMillan and The Lost Rubies, and The Break Even Boys.

What began as a pandemic experiment in livestreaming for friends has flourished into an eclectic repertoire and enchanting collection of original songs about love, loss and life’s challenges and mysteries.

The Woebegones are not to be missed!
